Made with Code was created because increasingly more aspects in our lives are powered by technology, yet women aren’t represented in the roles that make technology happen. Only 0.03 percent of girls enter the computer science field.

If we can inspire girls to see that code can help them pursue their passions, whatever they may be, then hopefully they will begin to contribute their voices to the field of technology for the benefit of us all.

The MIT App Inventor project seeks to bring software development skills to all people, especially young people in order to transition them from being consumers of technology to creators of it.

Coding isn't just for computer whizzes, says Mitch Resnick of the MIT Media Lab--it's for everyone. In a fun, demo-filled talk, Resnick outlines the benefits of teaching kids to code, so they can do more than just "read" new technologies--but also create them. (Filmed at TEDxBeaconStreet).

With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.

Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.

Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. It is provided free of charge.
